Hi guys!
First off, thanks very much for taking the time to read this, i'm sure you guys must get the same questions over and over again.
So, my parents live in an old 1780's farmhouse and its never been detected (theyve been there since the early 70's). I'd like to try detecting the area, but my short jaunt with a cheapo detector just turned up tons of iron. The barn burnt down years ago so the area is littered with old nails and bits of iron equipment pulled out of the barn.
I know there's some neat stuff to be found, though, because I just chose a random spot to dig, and under two trowelfuls of dirt i came across an old musket ball.
Is there a certain detector that excels as seeing past iron debris? Or a specific type of setup that would help?
